The newcomer was Gor, who had recently become sworn brothers with Gou Feng and was commissioned to kill Han Lang.
Knowing Han Lang's strength and harboring a contempt for cultivators from Xia Country, he treated Han Lang with extreme disdain.
In contrast, Han Lang's expression was exceptionally solemn.
The opponent waiting at the foot of Lingyue Mountain to ambush him clearly had a specific objective.
Moreover, he had just been worrying about Jin Chunfeng potentially retaliating against him, and in the next moment, he encountered an esper. Could this also indicate that Jin Chunfeng had already made a move?
Thinking this, Han Lang could only shake his head helplessly.
"So be it! Since you've come knocking, I'll have to face you. Besides, I am a man of justice, and naturally, I cannot stand idly by while traitors collude with foreign powers!"
With that, Han Lang no longer hesitated. He exerted a slight force with his feet, and his body shot towards Gor like a cannonball.
Seeing Han Lang's slender fist coming at him, Gor was not only unfazed but also curled his lips into a cold, excited smile.
"Good!"
He then swiftly raised his hand and met the incoming fist with his own.
"Boom!"
Their fists collided, and the terrifying force stirred up a wave of energy. Both their clothes fluttered as if in a strong wind, and the car glass beneath Gor's feet shattered with a deafening roar.
Looking at Han Lang's fist, which was only half the size of his own, Gor was somewhat surprised. He seemed not to have expected such a slender fist to unleash power equal to his own!
"Nice!"
Gor became even more excited, but Han Lang seemed unwilling to engage in conversation. He immediately followed up with a kick aimed at Gor's chest.
Gor blocked with his arm, but was still sent flying.
Before he could regain his balance, a large foot descended from above, aiming straight for his head.
He slightly tilted his head.
"Thump!"
A dull sound echoed.
Han Lang's instep fiercely struck Gor's neck.
Gor lost his balance and was almost forced to his knees by the kick. Fortunately, he quickly spread his right leg into a horse stance, stabilizing himself.
However, Han Lang's move seemed to have thoroughly enraged Gor.
He glared at Han Lang with a ferocious expression, his lips trembling with anger. His left hand struck Han Lang's right leg away with an elbow, and he then kicked towards Han Lang's jaw.
Han Lang also seemed somewhat surprised by Gor's combat prowess.
Caught off guard, he could only bring his hands together to push against Gor's attacking right foot, simultaneously using the rebound force to retreat rapidly.
He expected Gor to be unable to keep up with his speed, but to his surprise, the moment Han Lang landed, Gor's fist was already upon him.
In a flash,
Han Lang instinctively ducked to evade, and without hesitation, kicked towards Gor's back.
Gor was greatly alarmed.
He hadn't expected Han Lang to counterattack so opportunistically in such a situation.
With no way to dodge, Gor could only continue to sprint forward as much as possible to mitigate the force of Han Lang's kick.
But Han Lang was no fool. With his divine sense controlling the field, Gor's subtle movements could not escape his sight.
He suddenly accelerated his footwork, following Gor's retreating back, and kicked him in the lower back.
Gor cried out in pain, rolled on the ground, and then quickly got up, warily watching Han Lang.
"You're not at the eighth level of Qi Condensation?"
Gor questioned, and Han Lang was even more puzzled.
His strength, by all rights, should only be known to Liu Jian, with whom he had fought.
But wasn't Liu Jian the one behind Wang Shan? How would an esper under Jin Chunfeng possess information about his strength?
Could there be an unspeakable secret between Jin Chunfeng and Wang Shan?
Thinking this, Han Lang deliberately sneered mockingly, "Who told you I was only at the eighth level of Qi Condensation? Was it Master Jin?"
Gor seemed to have a shallow understanding of Chinese language and culture. Hearing Han Lang guess incorrectly, he instead laughed heartily with delight.
"It seems your intelligence doesn't match your strength, you don't even know who you've offended. But don't think I'll tell you that Brother Gou hired me to avenge him!"
Han Lang scoffed upon hearing this!
Who exactly had low intelligence here?
Just as he was about to retort sarcastically, he suddenly realized something.
Wait a minute!
Brother Gou?
Could it be the Gou family?
Han Lang became even more confused.
If Gou Feng had espers of this caliber under him, he wouldn't have sought peace with him back then!
And didn't Tang Qin say that Master Jin was inextricably linked to espers? How did it become the Gou family now?
Han Lang was utterly perplexed. Everything was too convoluted.
So he directly asked, "The Brother Gou you mentioned is Gou Feng, right? Has he also colluded with you espers? And your strength isn't bad, you should be an A-class esper, right?"
Gor realized he had let slip, but he didn't blame himself. Instead, he felt Han Lang was insidious and cunning for tricking him.
He immediately became furious and exploded in rage, "Damn Chinese people, you are too insidious and cunning, I will kill you!"
Saying this, he clenched his fist and attacked Han Lang again.
Sensing the sudden surge in the opponent's speed, Han Lang realized that Gor might truly be angry. Although he felt innocent, the current situation did not allow him to slacken even for a moment.
"Bang!"
Another head-on collision.
The powerful shockwave sent both of them staggering back.
Without any hesitation, they both clenched their fists and charged at each other again.
Gor exerted all his might; Han Lang also fully mobilized the spiritual energy within his dantian.
Their fists met!
"Rumble!"
A massive explosion sent both of them flying backward. The powerful blast swept the gravel on the concrete road clean, and even the already riddled car beside them was shaken to the point of nearly tipping into the ditch.
Ignoring their disheveled state, both scrambled to their feet, panting heavily as they stared at each other.
This blow had almost completely depleted them. At this moment, besides their gazes, they were unable to launch any effective attacks on each other.
However, Han Lang had the Spirit Gathering Pill!
The Spirit Gathering Pill was originally used in the Li Chuan Continent to compensate for insufficient spiritual energy in battles of the same stage!
Wasn't this precisely the critical moment to utilize its inherent effect?
Han Lang unhesitatingly took a Spirit Gathering Pill from his three-story pagoda and swallowed it. This scene, however, stunned Gor.
"What are you eating?"
Gor hadn't seen Han Lang reach into his pocket, but his subconscious told him that what Han Lang was eating posed a great threat, so he quickly asked.
Han Lang chuckled, "A Snickers, you idiot!"
Snickers?
What was that?
Before Gor could ask further, Han Lang suddenly felt something amiss in his dantian.
After swallowing one Spirit Gathering Pill, instead of feeling replenished, he felt somewhat empty.
Han Lang quickly scanned his dantian internally.
He saw the spiritual energy vortex in his dantian spinning rapidly. The spiritual energy from the recently replenished Spirit Gathering Pill, drawn by the vortex, completely coiled within the dantian.
"No wonder I don't feel any replenishment, it turns out I'm about to break through again!"
Han Lang was overjoyed and quickly took out four or five more Spirit Gathering Pills, stuffing them all into his mouth at once.
Gor was dumbfounded. At this stage of the battle, he still had the leisure to eat Snickers to replenish his strength?
Wasn't this a bit like trying to quench a thirst with a mouthful of water?
The key was,
He was just watching this happen, and it seemed to make him…
Hungry?
"Damn it, if I had known, I should have brought some boiled eggs!"
